Doing art projects with kids is one of the finest and most enriching ways to spend quality time with your children. Its technology-free time that you can both bond over, enjoying the shared creativity, design, and the limitless possibilities that they offer. The directions are clear and it really is easy to get started right out of the box. You’ll create cheerful underwater creatures using the molds that are provided. After personalizing your designs with the included paint and glitter then its time for the magic! Once your child has put paint on their mold, they submerge it in the tank willed with magic water, and it turns solid, which makes it easy to slide right out of the mold. Because the set comes with 6 different color paints, kids can get quite creative with the designs and patterns they create for their animals. This further inspires creativity as our child testers created creatures with polka dots, stripes, solids…if it came to mind or struck their fancy, they made them. The longer you let the animal sit in the magic water (thanks to the Magic Dust you include), the more solid it becomes. 30-minutes seemed to do the trick in our testing centers. The backdrop of the tank is painted to represent an ocean scene, which is a nice touch. The enthusiasm and replay factor, kids asking to play again and again, was sky-high.
